Noelle’s Gift to Children is excited to announce that registration for the 2026 Light Up the Night for Noelle – Chatham-Kent Edition taking place on Friday, April 24th is now open, and LKDSB staff, students, and families are invited to take part once again.
Last year’s inaugural event saw outstanding involvement from across Chatham-Kent, with more than 200 participants—including many of our own LKDSB students, staff, and families—joining together to raise over $19,000 for Noelle’s Gift to Children. The generosity of our school communities made a meaningful difference for local students, and we are proud of the compassion and school spirit displayed across the district.
This year, organizers are hoping to surpass last year’s total, and we would love to see LKDSB schools once again show their support through participation, team building, and friendly fundraising challenges.
How to Get Involved
Participants can register individually or form school‑based or department teams. Fundraising is optional, but all contributions directly support children in Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton through Noelle’s Gift to Children.
